Ego and arrogance are affecting our lives now more than ever. We have so much self-importance that we don’t want to listen to anybody, doing/saying things that we like irrespective of thinking right or wrong, as well as we are not willing to improve ourselves even if we know we are wrong. People with high egos and arrogance feel they are always right and even if they are doing wrong, they find it very hard to accept that. They are unaware of the damage this can cause to their lives.
But that’s not 100%. Many are also aware of the consequences and trying to improve themselves, while many who live with it don’t know the damage it can cause to their lives if not understood.
You may be wondering how it may affect our lives, what damage it can cause to us, and more so read on.
It could affect us directly or indirectly explained below in points.
Complacency
You become complacent; you think you know enough and have nothing to learn more. You are not open to new learnings & ideas and that hinders your growth.
Relationship
Because of ego, you take everything at your heart even if something is said to you casually or for fun. You want to look superior in the group, your ego & arrogance force you to behave differently and this affects your relationship with others.
Decision-making
Ego and arrogance affect our cognitive ability, we find ourselves unable to think properly and that affects our decision-making. You can’t think clearly when living with arrogance.
Chance of Failure
You become careless when you are arrogant and you don’t pay much attention to what’s going on in your life and work. You make decisions without much thinking as you believe your idea can not be wrong and this may bring you failure.
